]]>Pangu, the team behind several iOS 7 and iOS 8 untethered jailbreaks, has posted an open letter discussing things like money, discrimination, rumors and the future of jailbreak.

Since the release of the first Pangu iOS 7 jailbreak, there have been rumors that the team sold the jailbreak for money. Famous iOS hacker, Stefan Esser aka I0n1c, had blamed the team for stealing his exploits and using them for a jailbreak. The team has been receiving several hate comments over the year, but nothing bothered them. What did bother them, was the racist comments that I0n1c made during a recent talk at a Jailbreak convention, Syscan.

According to the team, during the Syscan convention that was held in Singapore recently, I0n1c separated the jailbreak community into Chinese hackers and Western hackers. The Pangu team found this very discriminating and it kind of is.

The letter talks about the following things in detail:

The rumor that Pangu was paid $1 million to package the jailbreak was false.

The team doesn’t buy exploits used in their jailbreak.

The team did not use any stolen/leaked enterprise certificates.

The team also spoke about why they obfuscated the code in their jailbreak tools. They did not want their exploits to be used and nor did they want Apple to easily find out and patch the vulnerabilities. Finally, they hope to move forward without any racial discrimination from the community and help in releasing new untethered jailbreaks.

We hope the jailbreak community should not judge a work for its developers’ race, creed, color, or religion.

You can read the entire letter over here. It is true, there is racial discrimination even in the jailbreak community and that has to come to an end. What do you think of this letter?

]]>Last weekend, Unity developer Erik Roystan Ross released a playable version of Super Mario 64 HD developed using Unity that was able to run in your browser. Of course, you’d need to have the Unity Plugin installed to run it, but still, it was pretty rad. The guys at TouchArcade, with little help from developer James Fietcher, managed to port Super Mario 64 HD to the iPhone 6.

The game was posted to show off developer Roystan Ross’s new Unity tool called Super Character Controller, which makes animating characters easy. He, therefore, went on to build the first level of Super Mario 64.

The iPhone 6 port of the Super Mario 64 HD includes basic virtual controls and yes, only the first level of the popular game. There are no camera controls or other game features. It does, however, look very nice on the iPhone 6 and is very playable. Now, this isn’t an official game from Nintendo and neither can you download it. As of now, this is just to showcase what is possible using the Unity Engine.

Watch Super Mario 64 HD running on the iPhone 6 below:

We’re not sure if Nintendo will bring any of their titles to iOS, but we sure hope they do. Would you like to play Super Mario 64 on your iPhone 6/6 Plus, without using any emulators? Let’s hope Nintendo listens to your prayers.

]]>iOS does not let you delete multiple apps at the same time using wiggle mode. However, a new Cydia tweak called MultiDelete will enable you to do just that.

MultiDelete is a simple tweak with one simple job, to delete several apps simultaneously. After installing the tweak, do what you normally do to delete an app. Hold on an app and wait for wiggle mode to activate. Now, instead of deleting one app at a time, you can delete several at the same time.

A red ‘X’ mark will appear on the apps when in wiggle mode, this means that MultiDelete is activated. Simply select all the apps you want to delete by tapping on the red ‘X’, then select the grey ‘X’ button to delete all of them. You’ll be asked for confirmation before deleting them.

MultiDelete is a free tweak available in the BigBoss repo right now. It requires iOS 8 or later and works on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

]]>The stock iOS Camera app doesn’t let you pause or resume video recording, which can come in handy at times. Thankfully, there’s a new jailbreak tweak called RecordPause that brings Pause and Resume feature in video recording to the stock iOS Camera app.

With RecordPause, you can pause video recording at any time and resume at your wish. Install the tweak, respring and you’re all set. The tweak is very simple to use.

All you have to do, is tap at the timer shown during the video recording to pause or resume. When you pause, the red recording button and the timer turn yellow, when resumed, it goes back to being red.

The tweak has a few configurable options in the Settings app. You can enable/disable the tweak and you can dim the the viewfinder when paused. You can also chose to have your viewfinder freeze or show live preview when recording is paused.

Other options include the ability to toggle the yellow UI and a larger tappable area if the timer is too small for your fingers.

All in all, a very useful tweak. If you like making Vine videos, you’re going to love this tweak. The developer does mention that when recording at 60 fps, your screen might stutter when recording is resumed.

You can download RecordPause for free from the BigBoss repo. The tweak only supports iOS 8 or later. Try it out and let us know what you think of it.

]]>Last week, popular tool TinyUmbrella received an update that allowed users to save all the previous SHSH blobs from their iOS device. Now, a new update has been released, which lets you save the local SHSH blobs for the current firmware as well.

This means that even if you’re on iOS 8.1.2, which Apple isn’t signing anymore, you can still save the SHSH blobs for iOS 8.1.2. Oh yes, you’re going to have to be on a jailbreakable firmware, so this tool will not work for iOS 8.1.3 as of now.

Sephamore, developer of TU, also mentioned that the ability to save local SHSH blobs currently only supports A7 and A8 devices. You’ll also need to have AFC2 installed on your iOS device.

A7 devices include:

iPhone 5S

iPad Air

iPad Mini 2 (Retina)

iPad Mini 3

A8 devices include:

iPhone 6

iPhone 6 Plus

iPad Air 2

You can download the latest version of TinyUmbrella Beta from our Downloads section and save your local SHSH blobs. To do that, connect your iOS device, right click on your device on TinyUmbrella, and click on Fetch SHSH on device.

So go on and save your iOS 8.1.2 SHSH blobs now, maybe the ability to downgrade back to iOS 8.1.2 will be possible soon.

]]>After almost two weeks since the release of iOS 8.3 beta 3, Apple has now seeded the fourth beta of the mobile OS to developers.

The iOS 8.3 beta 4 carries build number 12F5061 and can be downloaded using the OTA feature on your iDevice or by visiting Apple’s iOS Dev Portal. This is the second beta that is available for public download under the AppleSeed program.

In this new beta, Apple has removed the beta label from iCloud Photo Library again. For some reason, the Wireless CarPlay support has also disappeared. iOS 8.3 beta three brought a new Filtering feature to the Messages app and now the fourth beta reads unknown senders instead of filtered.

Not only will the Slim Armor CS case and screen protector keep your phone out of harm’s way, the case doubles as a wallet, housing up to 2 credit cards or IDs. All of these gadgets and gizmos don’t equal big and bulky, the case is as slim as its name suggests.

]]>A new version of TinyUmbrella has been released by Semaphore, but you can’t really do much with it right now. TinyUmbrella used to be the go-to tool whenever you had to downgrade an iOS device or to preserve jailbreak. However, Apple made sure that this wouldn’t happen and made TinyUmbrella useless.

Things have changed, apparently. According to Semaphore, the new beta version of TinyUmbrella is a complete rewrite and can be used to save SHSH blogs from latest jailbroken iOS 8 versions. You can’t, unfortunately, downgrade yet. But, that will be possible in the near future, says the developer.

For now, this new beta version of TinyUmbrella will let you save your current OTA SHSH blobs with a click of a button. The new tool is super easy to use and saves all non-OTA SHSH blobs automatically.

The new version will work with any iOS device, whether it’s in DFU mode or not.

I intend on releasing an update within the week to address any bugs that are found in this initial BETA. Further, I will be updating this tool to work with much more admirable features that many of you want. :) Until then, Save your SHSHs!

Looks like Semaphore is very confident that we will be able to downgrade iOS devices in the future. So yeah, until then, better keep all your SHSH saved.

]]>Apple, yesterday, released the third beta of iOS 8.3 to the developers. The company released iOS 8.2 to the public earlier this week, which added features such as Apple Watch support and brought improvements to the Health App.

If you’re a registered Apple Developer, you can download the latest beta from the developer portal.

Those who are already on a previous iOS 8.3 beta can simply head over to Settings > General > About > Software update and find the new beta.

According to Apple, the new beta fixes bugs and provides improvements to the OS. The third beta also has the Apple Watch companion app from iOS 8.2 and there’s a new option called ‘Conversation List Filtering’ in the Messages app.

The recent betas of iOS 8.3 have included features such as wireless CarPlay, Google’s 2-step verification and new emojis. That’s all for now. We’ll let you know if more new features are uncovered in the new iOS 8.3 beta 3. Also, if you find something, do let us know!

]]>Apple released iOS 8.2 to the public earlier this week. The new update came with Apple Watch support and improvements to the Health app. However, if you want to keep your previous jailbreak, then it’s best you don’t update to iOS 8.2.

The TaiG iOS jailbreak used to work with the first two iOS 8.2 betas, but Apple managed to patch it in the remaining betas. The final version of iOS 8.2, released on Monday, also continues to block the TaiG jailbreak.

MuscleNerd, a prominent member in the iOS hacking community, tweeted that jailbreakers should stay away from iOS 8.2:

Available for: iPhone 4s and later, iPod touch (5th generation) and later, iPad 2 and later

Impact: A malicious application may be able to create folders in trusted locations in the file system

Description: An issue existed in the developer disk mounting logic which resulted in invalid disk image folders not being deleted. This was addressed through improved error handling.

CVE-ID, CVE-2015-1062 : TaiG Jailbreak Team

Now, we’re not sure if the TaiG team has anymore exploits left, but it sure looks like Apple is doing all they can to stop future jailbreaks. The TaiG team did mention that they’ll be releasing a jailbreak when Apple releases iOS 8.2 to the public. It’s been a few days since iOS 8.2 released and there hasn’t been any jailbreak yet.

Therefore, if you want to keep your jailbreak, then it’s better you don’t update to iOS 8.2. You’re not going to miss much!

]]>After wrapping up yesterday’s Spring Forward event, Apple released iOS 8.2 the public. Last Friday, a report came out saying that Apple would release iOS 8.2 to the public. The report also had the entire changelog for the new firmware and it turned out to be very accurate.

The entire changelog is the same as the one reported last week. Mostly, Apple’s latest iOS update brings Watch support and improvements to the Health app.

After installing iOS 8.2, you’ll notice the new Apple Watch app, which lets you install apps and configure Settings on your Apple Watch. The Health app has also received number of improvements such as:

Adds the ability to select the unit of measurement for body temperature, weight, height, distance, and blood glucose

Improves stability when dealing with large amounts of data

Includes the ability to add and visualise workout sessions from 3rd-party apps

Addresses an issue that may have prevented users from adding a photo in Medical ID

Fixes units for vitamins and minerals

Fixes an issue where Health data wouldn’t refresh after changes data source order

Fixes an issue where some graphics showed no data values

Adds a privacy setting that enables turning off tracking of steps, distance, and flights climbed

The iOS 8.2 update is now available as an OTA update or from iTunes. iOS 8.2 requires iPhone 4s and later, iPod touch (5th generation) and later, iPad 2 and later. The Apple Watch app will only work on iPhone 5 and later.

You can also download iOS 8.2 IPSW for your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch from our Downloads section.

]]>Apple’s Spring Forward event has concluded and a lot of things were announced. The biggest announcement was the all new MacBook. As rumored, Apple unveiled a 12-inch MacBook with Retina display, an edge-to-edge keyboard and a Force Touch TrackPad clad in Gold, Space Black or Silver.

CEO Tim Cook said that they wanted to reinvent the Notebook and thus came up with all new MacBook. Yes, it’s called MacBook. No Pro, no Air or anything. The new MacBook has a 12-inch Retina display that has a resolution of 2304-by-1440 pixels. The Retina display is just 0.88 millimeter thick and Apple has used an edge-to-edge glass, 0.5 millimeter thick, to cover the display.

Overall, the new MacBook is only 13.1 mm thin at its thickest point. In comparison to the MacBook Air, which is 17.3 mm at its thickest point, the new MacBook is about 24 percent thinner. The new MacBook weighs only 2 pounds, which is super light. To get so thin and light, Apple had to let go of a lot of things.

For example, the new MacBook has a fanless design, which means that the logic board is around 67 percent smaller than before. Fanless design also means that the MacBook will be super silent. On top of that, Apple has used Intel’s latest 5th Gen Core M “Broadwell” processor, which uses only 5 watts of power.

This also meant that Apple could add more battery to the notebook. However, Apple has used a terraced battery placement to save more space. Thanks to the terraced arrangement, the new MacBook houses 35 percent more battery cells and can provide up to 9 hours of browsing and 10 hours of video playback.

Now let’s talk about the main features of the 12-inch MacBook. Firstly, Apple has improved the keyboard with an edge-to-edge design and a new butterfly mechanism for the keys. The MacBook still features a full keyboard and large keys so it’s easier to type. The keyboard is 40 percent thinner than before and the keys are 17 percent larger.

The Butterfly mechanism uses a single assembly made from a stiffer material, which allows for a more precise keystroke. Apple states that this new mechanism improves stability, uniformity, and control when typing. The keyboard now features individual LEDs for every key, which provides better and sharper backlighting.

Next up, the Force Touch Trackpad. Apple has borrowed the Force Touch feature from the Watch and brought it to the MacBook. The new Force Touch TrackPad has a capacitive glass surface, four Force Sensors at the corners and the Taptic Engine.

There are no buttons on the trackpad, but it can tell the difference between a tap, a click and a press. You can customize the pressure sensitivity on the trackpad to perform different actions. For example, you can increase pressure on the trackpad and that will forward a video faster. The Taptic Engine provides haptic feedback so you can also feel what you’re doing on the screen.

Lastly, as reported earlier, Apple has indeed gotten rid of all the standard ports and included an all new USB-C port. This port offers charging, USB 3 data transfers, and video output that supports HDMI, VGA, and Mini DisplayPort connections. All this from one single port.

You are, however, going to need a bunch of adapters to use the new USB Type-C port.

Watch the promotional video for the new 12 Inch MacBook below:

Now, the technical specifications. You can opt for an Intel Core M dual-core 1.1 GHz processor coupled Intel HD Graphics 5300, 8 GB of DDR3 RAM and 256GB of storage. There’s also an Intel Core M dual-core 1.2 GHz processor variant that comes with 512GB of storage. Both the models can be configured with an Intel Core M dual-core 1.3 GHz processor.

The 1.1GHz variant will cost you $1,299, whereas the 1.2GHz model costs $1,599. The new MacBook is available in Gold, Space Black and Silver.

]]>Apple revealed some new details on the Watch during the Spring Forward special event held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California. The company spoke about the Watch’s battery life, pricing, apps and availability.

We’ve all been waiting to find out how Apple has priced the Watch Edition models, since all we knew so far was that the Watch starts at $349.

Turns out, the Watch Sport is the cheapest of all and costs $349, whereas the Watch Edition is the most expensive of all costing $17,000. This is so because the Watch Edition is made of 18-karat Gold.

The Watch Edition will be available in select stores only and in limited quantity. Below are the official MSRP’s from Apple:

Pricing for the bands were also detailed, with the Sports band starting at $49 and Stainless Steel band costing $449.

The bands are only available for the Apple Watch and Watch Sport. Here are all the bands that you can buy:

38mm Midnight Blue Modern Buckle – Large – $249.00

38mm Milanese Loop
$149.00

42mm Milanese Loop – $149.00

42mm White Sport Band – $49.00

38mm Link Bracelet – $449.00

38mm White Sport Band – $49.00

42mm Black Leather Loop – Medium – $149.00

42mm Link Bracelet – $449.00

42mm Black Leather Loop – Large – $149.00

38mm Midnight Blue Modern Buckle – Small – $249.00

38mm Black Classic Buckle – $149.00

38mm Soft Pink Modern Buckle – Medium – $249.00

42mm Black Classic Buckle – $149.00

Apple also spoke about the battery life, which has been another feature that everyone has been waiting to know. According to the company, the Watch can last for up to 18 hours on a single charge. Turn on Power Reserve mode and you should be able to view the time on your smartwatch for about 72 hours.

Of course, Apple conducted a very scientific test to have arrived at these results. 18 hours of usage was achieved when the Watch was used to check the time 90 times per day, check 90 notifications, spending 45 minutes in apps and doing a 30-minute workout with music playback from the Watch via Bluetooth.

Apple also mentioned that the Watch will provide up to 3 hours of talk time and 6.5 hours of Audio playback via Bluetooth. The Watch will require 2.5 hours to completely charge and 1.5 hours to charge up to 80 percent. The 42mm Watch will provide longer battery life.

The company also noted that the Watch will only be Water resistant and not waterproof.

Apple Watch is splash and water resistant but not waterproof. You can, for example, wear and use Apple Watch during exercise, in the rain, and while washing your hands, but submerging Apple Watch is not recommended. Apple Watch has a water resistance rating of IPX7 under IEC standard 60529. The leather bands are not water resistant.

So yeah, try not to swim while wearing your Apple Watch. Also, no surfing!

You can speak Hey Siri to invoke Siri on the Apple Watch and ask it to do stuff. To do most things, except show the time, you’re going to need an iPhone, specifically an iPhone 5 or later.

Watch the first Apple Watch TV ad below:

The Apple Watch will be available to pre-order starting April 10th and will be available in stores on April 24th. As of now, the launch will not be worldwide, but only ranged to a couple of countries.

]]>According a new report coming from the Wall Street Journal, Apple is working on adding features such as USB 3.0, multiple ports for Mouse and Keyboard connectivity and faster charging to the rumored 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Rumors for Apple’s larger iPad haven’t exactly been making news, but this new report from WSJ re-ignites the fire.

Whether Apple is actually planning on releasing a larger iPad Pro is still unsure, but it is refreshing to hear a rumor/report such as this. Sources familiar with the iPad Pro’s design stated that Apple is planning on including extra ports and a faster charging technology.

A USB 3.0 port will be welcomed, as users could use the port to connect external hard drivers and other USB peripherals for maximum productivity. A keyboard and mouse port would also be welcomed, but Apple likes to keep ports to the minimum, so we’re not sure that there would be extra ports. Perhaps a keyboard/trackpad attachment would suffice.

Faster charging is something very much needed, as even the current 9.7-inch iPad Air 2 takes quite long to fully charge. A larger iPad Pro with a 12.9-inch display means even longer charge times and that’s where faster charging could be very useful.

We’re still not sure what the target audience for such a devices is. The iPad is currently leading in the tablet market, is it really necessary to introduce a larger iPad? The report states that Apple will be aiming the product at enterprise customers, which makes sense. With better productivity tools and features, an enterprise or power user will end up very satisfied.

The report also mentions that Apple suppliers were given orders to start mass production of the larger iPad Pro in the second half of this year, which means we’ll probably see it by fall 2015.

Still, this could all just be features that Apple worked on but may not include in the final product. What do you have to say about these rumors?

]]>Apple will be announcing new iPhones later this year like always. After releasing iPhone 6 and 6 Plus last year, which brought a complete redesign and a bunch of new features, this year will just bring hardware improvements. A new rumor now states that the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6 Plus upgrade this year will include 2GB RAM and an Apple SIM.

This rumor comes from an AppleInsider source who is familiar with Apple’s product plans. Since the iPhone 5, Apple has been using 1GB of RAM to perform all kinds of tasks. However, last years iPad Air 2 update included 2GB of RAM and the Apple SIM. What is Apple SIM you ask? Well, since last years iPad Air 2, Apple started including their own SIM card that lets you choose a short-term mobile data plan from any participating carrier. This feature can be accessed from the Settings app and are available only on iPad Air 2 models purchased directly from Apple.

According to the source, Apple will most likely include the Apple SIM with the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6 Plus upgrade. We’re not sure how carriers would react to that, as on the iPad, the consumer will only be able to opt for mobile data.

The iPhone 6s will also most likely use an A9 chip, which could be coupled with 2GB of RAM for optimum performance and better use of software features such as multi-tasking. Even with just 1GB of RAM, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus perform great, but there are drawbacks.

For example, backgrounded apps refresh when there’s not enough RAM. On the iPad Air 2, which has 2GB of RAM, backgrounded apps can remain so for a long time without needing a refresh upon bringing the app to front. More RAM also equals less strain on the CPU, which equals to perhaps better battery life.

We believe that Apple will announce the new iPhone models in September this year. There will not be any design changes, but only hardware upgrades.

]]>Google’s Android Wear is an operating system for wearable devices and is widely used in almost all smartwatches today. Launched last year, it was made from the ground up for devices with small displays such as a Watch. Android Wear does not support iOS, which means that it will only work with Android smartphones. That might change soon.

A new rumour has surfaced stating that Google may be working on bringing Android Wear support to iOS. This means that you could use an Android Wear smartwatch with an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. Basically, an app would be released for iOS devices, which would make it possible to connect to/sync with an Android Wear device.

Apple is not going to bring Android support to the Apple Watch, which is a little bit sad, because their smartwatch isn’t really much of a looker.

Android Wear smartwatches, on the other hand, are beautiful, elegant and actually look like a traditional watch. Motorola has the Moto 360, LG has the G Watch R and Huawei recently unveiled their Watch at Mobile World Congress 2015.

Recently, a jailbreak developer managed to make the Motorola Moto 360 work with an iPhone. He was able to relay iOS notifications to the Android Wear Watch.

Now, if Google officially made iOS compatible with Android Wear watches, an iPhone user would have a lot of devices to choose from. Things like Apple Pay would probably not be available, but then Google recently confirmed that they’re working on a payment platform namely Android Pay.

The Apple Watch, starting at $349, requires an iPhone 5 or later running on iOS 8.2 or later to work. You cannot use an Apple Watch without owning an iPhone. Whereas, Android Wear smartwatches will work with any Android smartphone that runs version 4.3 or later. Android Wear watches cost less, have better features and look more like a watch than Apple’s solution.

]]>Famed iOS hacker Comex has released the first alpha build of Substitute, an alternative to the Substrate in Cydia. In late January this year, we learnt that Comex was building a Cydia Substrate alternative for an upcoming jailbreak tweak store called iMods.

Because Saurik, the creator of Cydia did not want to support iMods, they had to look for a Substrate alternative. The iMods store wouldn’t be able to install tweaks and run it on the jailbroken device without a Substrate like module. Hence, Comex decided to help iMods and has now released the first alpha build of what he calls Substitute.

Substitute is an alternative to Cydia Substrate and helps tweaks do what they’re intended to do. Comex warns that this is a very early alpha build and ask users to install it only if they know what they’re doing.

Substitute now has an alpha .deb you can test out. But please only do so if you know what you are doing. https://t.co/D9s3vKkrmS

This is a big deal in the jailbreaking community, but it will not make any difference to the regular jailbreaker who’s looking to make the most out of their iOS device. Cydia is still a better and more popular choice and iMods isn’t out yet. The vision of iMods is indeed a step forward and has some cool features, but we’re not sure many would want to simply replace Cydia with it.

]]>The date for the Apple Watch announcement has been set and Apple will finally reveal its pricing plans and other details on the Watch. March 9th we will see Apple trying to convince the world to buy the Apple Watch. CEO, Tim Cook, has been hinting on Apple Watch features such as Water Resistance, full day battery life, ability to replace car keys etc. Now, some more details have surfaced.

According to a new report by the New York Times, an Apple employee stated that the Apple Watch will feature something known as a Power-Reserve mode.

While on Power-Reserve mode, the Apple Watch will only display time and run on low energy to prolong battery life. That would actually be quite useful as you’re probably not going to be looking at your Watch the whole day. And since the battery lasts only a day and requires overnight charging, this feature would be a nice addition.

Apple wanted to release the Watch earlier, but due to technical challenges they had to settle for an April launch. The Watch was initially pegged to be available only in the U.S.A after its launch in April, but that won’t be the case according to 9to5Mac. Apple plans on giving the Apple Watch a widespread launch, starting in USA and Germany at first and then other countries by the end of April. A better launch plan unlike the original iPhone and iPad.

The Apple Watch will start at $349 and will be available in three different editions. Pricing and other details will be revealed at the Apple event on March 9th.

]]>Apple CEO Tim Cook visited the company’s flagship retail store at Covent Garden in London earlier today. During the visit, while talking with the excited employees, the CEO revealed some new details on the Apple Watch.

Just yesterday, the iPhone maker sent invites for a special event that will take place on March 9th. In a recent report, Tim Cook was heard saying that he wears his Apple Watch in the shower, hinting at its water resistant feature. On this surprise visit to the Covent Garden Apple Store, he stated that the Watch will feature many revolutionary uses.

According to him, the Watch can be used as an alternative to car keys, will easily filter messages based on priority and help improve a users health. Apple plans on selling the Watch as a fitness device that requires an iPhone to fully function. He stated that it will urge users to get off their chairs and exercise and give rewards in credits for not being lazy.

“I’m now so used to getting all my notifications and all my messages. It’s so incredible just to do this. This will be just like the iPhone: people wanted it and bought for a particular reason, perhaps for browsing, but then found out that they loved it for all sorts of other reasons.”

Tim Cook also spoke about the battery life, which will easily last a whole day and also praised Jony Ive for his work on the design and also mentioned the magnetic charger. He said that the Watch will charge much faster than the iPhone thanks to the easy to use charger.

Another important feature of the Watch will be Apple Pay. Customers can simply use their Watch to pay for products and services, but they will need to have an iPhone on them.

Apple will reveal more details on the Watch and its pricing on March 9th. It’s scheduled to hit shelves in April starting at $349. Will Apple revolutionize the smartwatch market?

]]>Apple has released five betas of iOS 8.2 to the developers so far and it looks like they might finally be ready to release a finished firmware. According to BGR, the fruit company plans on releasing iOS 8.2 to the public next week. They were also told that iOS 8.3, which is also being worked on, will soon follow.

The website has also heard that Apple is planning on releasing at least two more betas of iOS 8.3 to the developers. Apple released iOS 8.3 beta 2 to developers earlier this week. This could mean that iOS 8.3 will see a late or mid March public release. iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.3 will bring improvements and new features such as CarPlay support, Watch support, Watch Companion app, new Siri languages, diverse emojis and more.

If this report turns out to be true, iOS 8.2 will be released next week and iOS 8.3 towards the end of March.
